Description

  The present invention relates to a label used for a liquid storage container such as an eye drop container.

Conventionally, as a label used for packaging a liquid storage container such as an eye drop container composed of a body part and a cap part fastened to the body part, the label covering the cap part can be easily removed after opening. What can be done is required. And in the following Patent Document 1, a horizontal sewing line is formed at the boundary between a lower region that covers the body portion and an upper region that covers the cap portion, and there is an inclined sewing line that extends from the knob portion at the end of the upper region to the horizontal sewing line. A provided sealing label is disclosed.
Japanese Patent No. 3603263

  According to the sealing label described in the above publication, the two-step operation is performed by holding the knob part and breaking the inclined sewing line and the horizontal sewing line in the upper area of the sealing label to peel off the sealing label, and then turning the cap part. Can be opened by rotating the cap portion of the container packaged with the label in a one-step operation to break the transverse sewing line of the sealing label.

  However, when the cap portion is rotated and opened in one step, the inclined sewing line may not be broken at all and only the horizontal sewing line may be broken due to the force applied when the cap portion is rotated. In this case, there is a problem that the trace of opening cannot be clearly confirmed if the cap part is returned to its original state without breaking the inclined sewing line. In a container such as an eye drop container, it is desired that the container can be easily identified visually by opening or unopened in order to prevent tampering by someone's malicious tampering.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. When the cap part is rotated and opened in one step, the trace when the liquid storage container is opened can be clearly confirmed, and the opening / unopening can be identified. The object is to provide a label that can be easily done.

Means for solving the problems / effects of the invention

In order to solve the above problems, a label of the present invention includes a first region that substantially covers a cap portion in order to seal a container including a barrel portion and a cap portion screwed to the barrel portion. In the label consisting of the second region that will cover the torso,
A first horizontal sewing line consisting of a cut portion and an uncut portion extending along the boundary between the first region and the second region;
A knob located at the edge of the first region;
An inclined sewing line composed of a cut portion and an uncut portion extending obliquely from the first region from the knob portion directly or through a predetermined sewing line to the first horizontal sewing line,
A second horizontal sewing line extending parallel to the first horizontal sewing line starting from a position higher than the first horizontal sewing line of the inclined sewing line;
When the cap portion is twisted for opening operation, the first horizontal sewing line, the second horizontal sewing line, and the inclined sewing line break, and the first, second horizontal sewing line, and inclined sewing line It is characterized in that the trapezoidal part to be separated is raised.

  According to the present invention, when the cap portion is rotated, a breaking force that opens along the first horizontal sewing line and the inclined sewing line acts, and also a breaking force acts on the second horizontal sewing line. Then, these sewing machine lines are broken. As described above, when the first and second horizontal sewing lines and the inclined sewing line are broken, the trapezoidal portion separated by the first and second horizontal sewing lines and the inclined sewing line is lifted from the container as a broken piece. Get a label. As a result, even if someone makes a malicious tampering such as turning the cap part and opening the cap part and then returning the cap part to its original position, the user can open or close the cap with the broken piece of the trapezoidal part as a mark. Opening can be clearly confirmed, and tampering can be effectively prevented.

  Further, the label of the present invention is a short cut in which one or more cut portions of the first horizontal sewing line in the contact area of the first horizontal sewing line and the inclined sewing line are shorter than the other cut portions. It can be formed as a part. When the cap portion is rotated and opened, a breaking force that opens along the first horizontal sewing machine line and the inclined sewing machine line acts. At this time, in the first horizontal sewing line, by forming continuous short cuts at the contact region portion of the first horizontal sewing line and the inclined sewing line, the number of uncut parts per unit length increases. That part becomes resistance to breakage. For this reason, the inclined sewing line formed by a normal cut portion which is not a short cut portion is more easily broken than the first horizontal sewing line. In this way, by adopting a configuration in which the inclined sewing line is easily broken, a label is obtained in which the trapezoidal portion delimited by the first and second horizontal sewing lines and the inclined sewing line rises as a broken piece from the container.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This example mainly illustrates labels used for eye drops, but the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art can be made without departing from the scope of the claims. Is possible.

  FIG. 1 is a developed front view of a label 1 according to the present invention. The label 1 is made of a heat-shrinkable synthetic resin and is formed as a rectangular film or sheet. The label 1 includes an upper half first area 1A and a lower half second area 1B. A first horizontal sewing line 10 extending along the boundary between the first region 1A and the second region 1B is formed.

  In the first region 1A, a knob portion 1a is formed at the upper end, and an inclined sewing line 30 extending obliquely from the knob portion 1a to the first horizontal sewing line 10 through the first region 1A, A second horizontal sewing line 20 extending from the position higher than the one horizontal sewing line 10 to the middle position of the first region 1A in parallel with the first horizontal sewing line 10 is formed.

  Further, although not shown on the front surface or the back surface of the second area 1B, for example, the chemical name, product name, manufacturer, distributor, container / label material, expiration date, serial number, etc. of the stored liquid medicine A printed layer with an appropriate indication can be provided, and an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the second region 1B at an appropriate location.

  As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, the first horizontal sewing line 10 formed in the first region 1 </ b> A has cut portions 11 and uncut portions 12 formed alternately. The cut portion 11 on the obtuse angle side with respect to the inclined sewing line 30 of the first horizontal sewing line 10 is a V-shaped cut portion comprising an oblique cut portion 15 formed at a predetermined bending angle starting from the tip of the cut portion 11. 13 may be formed. Further, the cut portion of the contact portion where the first horizontal sewing line 10 and the inclined sewing line 30 merge can be formed as a curved cut portion 14 following the first horizontal sewing line 10 from the inclined sewing line 30.

  The second horizontal sewing machine line 20 has cut portions 21 and uncut portions 22 formed alternately. In addition, a contact portion where the second horizontal sewing line 20 and the inclined sewing line 30 merge can be formed by a curved cut portion 24 extending from the second horizontal sewing line 20 to the inclined sewing line 30.

  The inclined sewing line 30 has cut portions 31 and uncut portions 32 formed alternately. The cut portion 31 may be formed as a V-shaped cut portion 33 including an oblique cut portion 35 formed at a predetermined bending angle with the tip of the cut portion 31 as a starting point.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the label 1 is wound around and attached to the peripheral side surface of the eye drop container 2 and is packaged so as to be in close contact with the shape of the eye drop container 2 by heat shrinkage. That is, the label 1 starts to be wound around the eye drop container 2 from one end, goes around and overlaps and overlaps the overlapping portions of the label 1. When the eye drop container 2 is packaged in this way, the first region 1A covers the cap portion 4 and the second region 1B covers the trunk portion 3. The first horizontal sewing line 10 is configured to circulate around the eye drop container 2 as a boundary between the cap part 4 and the body part 3 of the eye drop container 2.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the cap portion 4 of the eye dropper container 2 is turned and opened. When the eye drop container 2 is opened by rotating the cap portion 4 in one step, the breaking force acts by being twisted in the rotational direction along the first horizontal sewing machine line 10, and the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 is cut. Begin to. Further, a breaking force acts on the second horizontal sewing machine line 20 and the inclined sewing machine line 30 in the rotational direction. At this time, in the first region 1A to be rotated and the second region 1B to be fixed, the inclination direction of the inclined sewing line 30 is formed to be inclined obliquely downward with respect to the rotation direction of the cap portion 4, The region 1A is broken from the inclined sewing line 30 on the side where the inclined sewing line 30 is formed, and is broken from the first horizontal sewing line 10 on the side where the inclined sewing line 30 is not formed. Further, by twisting by rotating the cap portion 4, force is applied to the first horizontal sewing line 10 and the second horizontal sewing line 20, respectively, and the second horizontal sewing line 20 is broken. At this time, since the second horizontal sewing line 20 is formed only up to the midway position of the first region 1A, the first horizontal sewing line 10 is broken around the eye drop container 2 once. The second horizontal sewing line 20 ends the breakage at the midpoint of the first region 1A without breaking the eyedrop container 2 once. Thus, when the cap portion 4 is opened and the first horizontal sewing line 10 is all cut, the inclined sewing line 30 and the second horizontal sewing line 20 connected to the first horizontal sewing line 10 are broken. , Preventing only the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 from being cut.

  In this way, the first and second horizontal sewing lines 10 and 20 and the inclined sewing line 30 are broken, so that the table is divided by the first and second horizontal sewing lines 10 and 20 and the inclined sewing line 30. The shape part floats from the eye drop container 2 as a broken piece 50. Then, the trace 50 of the trapezoidal portion is lifted, so that the trace of the opening can be clearly left, and the user can simply check the presence or absence of the trapezoidal fracture piece 50 to open or close the cap. Unopened plugs can be easily identified.

  When the first horizontal sewing line 10 is formed by the V-shaped cut portion 13 (FIG. 2) and the inclined sewing line 30 is formed by the V-shaped cut portion 33 (FIG. 2), the twist in the rotational direction is easily transmitted. It will be cut effectively. In addition, when the contact portion between the inclined sewing line 30 and the first horizontal sewing line 10 is formed by the curved cut portion 14 (FIG. 2), at the junction of the inclined sewing line 30 and the first horizontal sewing line 10. When the breaking force in the rotation direction is transmitted, the force is smoothly transmitted to the inclined sewing machine wire 30 and the first horizontal sewing machine wire 10, and the breaking proceeds. When the contact portion between the inclined sewing line 30 and the second horizontal sewing line 20 is formed by the curved cut portion 24 (FIG. 2), the breaking force in the rotational direction applied to the second horizontal sewing line 20 is inclined. It is transmitted to the sewing machine wire 30 and is easily broken.

  Further, when the label 1 is opened with the knob 1a, when the inclined sewing machine wire 30 is broken, a force is applied in the circumferential direction and it is easy to tear. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, if the inclined sewing line 30 is formed by the V-shaped cut portion 33, a tear is connected to the oblique cut portion 35 even if it is broken in the circumferential direction, and the inclined sewing machine continuously. Line 30 can be broken. When the joining portion between the inclined sewing line 30 and the first horizontal sewing line 10 is formed by the curved cut portion 14, the break to the first horizontal sewing line 10 proceeds smoothly. Further, when the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 is broken, an upward force is easily applied to avoid it. However, if the cut portion 11 is formed by the V-shaped cut portion 13, it is oblique even if it is broken obliquely upward. A slit is connected to the cut portion 15 to be continuously broken, and the label 1 can be peeled off smoothly.

  When the cap part 4 is rotated and opened in the direction opposite to the direction in which the inclined sewing line 30 is inclined obliquely downward, the first horizontal sewing line 10 and the second horizontal sewing line are twisted by the rotation of the cap part 4. 20 is broken, and the label 1 is twisted by this breakage, the breaking force is transmitted to the inclined sewing machine wire 30, and the inclined sewing machine wire 30 is also broken. Therefore, the trapezoidal portion defined by the first and second horizontal sewing lines 10 and 20 and the inclined sewing line 30 can be lifted from the eye drop container 2 as the broken piece 50.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, the same members as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in the enlarged view showing the form of the sewing machine line of the label in the second embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 5, a part of the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 on the acute angle side with respect to the inclined sewing machine line 30 is cut. 11 can be formed by a Y-shaped cut portion 17 composed of oblique cut portions 15 and 16 formed at a predetermined bending angle starting from the tip of 11. According to such a configuration, when opening the cap portion 4 by turning the cap portion 4 or holding the knob portion 1a, the slits are connected to the oblique cut portions 15 and 16 even when the cap portion 4 is broken in the vertical direction. The sewing machine wire 10 can be continuously broken. In particular, when opening with the knob portion 1a, as the break of the label 1 approaches the merged portion of the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 and the inclined sewing machine line 30, a downward force is applied and it is easy to tear down. However, according to this configuration, even if it breaks downward, the oblique cut portion 16 is connected to the slit, and the uncut portion 12 can be cut and continuously cut into the adjacent Y-shaped cut portion 17 and opened. Defects can be prevented.

  Next, FIG. 6 shows an enlarged view showing the form of the sewing line of the label in the third embodiment of the present invention. In this configuration, a part of the first horizontal sewing line 10 is formed by an uncut portion 12 and a short cut portion 18 shorter than the cut portion 11. The first horizontal sewing line 10 has a cut portion 11 and an uncut portion 12 having a length D continuously formed, and a short cut portion 18 and an uncut portion 12 each having a length d shorter than D. W1 and W2 formed continuously are arranged so as to be formed in the contact area between the horizontal sewing machine line 10 and the inclined sewing machine line 30. On the other hand, the inclined sewing machine line 30 is formed by an uncut portion 32 and a V-shaped cut portion 33 composed of an oblique cut portion 35 formed at a predetermined bending angle starting from the tip of the cut portion 31.

  When the eye drop container 2 (FIG. 3) is opened by rotating the cap portion 4 in one step, a breaking force that opens along the first horizontal sewing line 10 and the inclined sewing line 30 acts. At this time, in the W1 and W2 portions formed by the short cut portion 18 shorter than the cut portion 11, the length of the uncut portion around the unit length is increased. As a result, the contact regions W1 and W2 of the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 and the inclined sewing machine line 30 where the short cut portions 18 are continuous act as resistance to breakage. Therefore, the inclined sewing machine line 30 formed with a normal cut part that is not a short cut part is easier to break than the first horizontal sewing machine line 10, and the inclined sewing machine line 30 is not broken and the first horizontal sewing machine is not broken. Only the line 10 can be prevented from being broken. Then, the second horizontal sewing machine line 20 is broken by a twist caused by rotating the cap portion 4. In this way, by adopting a configuration in which the inclined sewing machine line 30 is easily broken, the eye drop container 2 with the trapezoidal portion delimited by the first and second horizontal sewing machine lines 10 and 20 and the inclined sewing machine line 30 as the broken piece 50. Can be lifted from. Preferably, when the ratio of the uncut portion 22 is small so that the second horizontal sewing machine line 20 can be easily cut, the second horizontal sewing machine line 20 is cut and the trapezoidal portion is easily lifted. . In addition, in the 1st horizontal sewing machine line 10, how to apply the resistance which arranged the short cut part 18 and the uncut part 12 continuously is not limited to this embodiment.

  In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, an inclined sewing line 30 that continues from the knob portion 1a includes an auxiliary cutting line 36 that extends vertically from the left end portion of the knob portion 1a to the middle of the first region 1A, and an auxiliary An oblique sewing line 37 extending obliquely from the lower end portion of the cutting line 36 to the first horizontal sewing line 10, and auxiliary sewing lines 41 and 42 from the right end portion of the knob portion 1 a are respectively connected to the auxiliary cutting line 36 and the oblique line. It may be formed in parallel with the sewing machine line 37. At this time, if the auxiliary sewing line 42 is formed so as to extend obliquely to the first horizontal sewing line 10, only the band that continues from the knob portion 1 a is cut and separated, so that the auxiliary sewing line 42 is separated from the first horizontal sewing line 42. It is up to the midway position of the first region 1A so as not to contact the sewing machine line 10. If formed in this way, in the process of peeling with the knob portion 1a, since there are two sewing lines continuing from the knob portion 1a, the resistance is small and it is easy to cut along the sewing line. Further, since the auxiliary sewing line 42 is formed only up to the middle of the first region 1A, the auxiliary sewing line 41, 42 is caught at the lower end of the auxiliary sewing line 42, and the inclined sewing line 30 is connected to the inclined sewing line 30. The inclined sewing machine line 30 can be cut into the first horizontal sewing machine line 10 that continues. Then, the first region 1 </ b> A of the label 1 covering the cap portion 4 can be easily peeled and opened along the first horizontal sewing machine line 10.

  In the present invention, for example, when the user tries to open the label 1 with the knob portion 1a, the label 1 can be smoothly peeled and removed by a single operation. Moreover, it is also possible to open the eye drop container 2 packaged with the label 1 by turning the cap part 4 as it is, and at this time, the broken piece 50 of the trapezoidal portion can be easily visually recognized as a trace at the time of opening. Because it cannot be repaired, it helps prevent falsification.
